In November, the company uses 23,500 hours of direct labor at a $394,800 total cost to produce 7,500 units of product. AH = Actual Hours SH = Standard Hours AR = Actual Rate SR = Standard Rate AQ = Actual Quantity SQ = Standard Quantity AP = Actual Price SP = Standard Price (1) Compute the direct labor rate variance, the direct labor efficiency variance, and the total direct labor cost variance for each of these two months. Classify each variance as favorable or unfavorable. October Actual Cost Standard Cost November Actual Cost Standard Cost
